About the "eigth gen is only a prettier seventh gen" argument

Umm, I welcome the prettier graphics. It's about time we got graphics that caught up with technology, and the PS4 games are a visual treat, load faster, and online features are better. You should not forget about all the other enhancements with Gen 8 beside the prettier graphics.  It's just all around a better console to play on.

Plus who wants to play on 2006 tech forever, or even worse on Wii standard def?

I get that as long as there are cross-gen games you don't really "have" to upgrade, but before long Gen 7 will stop getting ports and you will have to upgrade anyway just to play regular new games.   So what are you saving in the long term other than your enjoyment right now?  For me it wouldn't save me much in the long run to keep buying new games on PS/360 instead of on PS4. New games are still $60, and you just get the better version on PS4, which is a better treat and will keep it's value longer.

Yay. Another reasonable post.

If only there were more...
